THE FLOATER IN THE EYE

Vitreous eye floaters are the moving shadows we see when there is thickening or condensation of the proteins in the vitreous fluid. They are typically age-related changes, but it can also occur in younger people. Even ‘benign’ eye floaters can significantly affect the quality of vision and quality of life.

THE FLOATER LASER

The YAG laser is common in ophthalmology practices and variants has been used for treating eye floaters for over 20 years. Not all laser brands and models are equal and many can not be used at all for this purpose. Dr. Johnson uses the Ellex Ultra-Q laser for treating eye floaters. It is FDA-approved for use in ophthalmology. More HERE.

THE FLOATER TREATMENT OPTICS

Laser energy is focused to a very precise spot with the confirmation of two red focusing beams. Each laser burst is only 0.0000002 seconds, but vaporizes the collagen proteins making up the vitreous floater material.

THE FLOATER TREATMENT

This brief animation shows a large, dense floater being treated by Dr. Johnson. The red beams are for focusing, gas bubbles are created as floater material is destroyed. In this compressed time lapse, we clearly see the large, cream-colored floater being reduced in size.
